1825–1833 William Sturgeon: British, scientist; 1825 – invented the electro-magnet; 1833 – built first commutated rotating electric machine that was demonstrated in London. [3] 1832–33, Hippolyte Pixii: French, instrument maker, built the first AC generating apparatus out of a rotation; and, the following year, an oscillating DC generator.

British scientist William Sturgeon invented the electromagnet in 1824. [3] [4] His first electromagnet was a horseshoe-shaped piece of iron that was wrapped with about 18 turns of bare copper wire. (Insulated wire did not then exist.) The iron was varnished to insulate it from the windings. When a current was passed through the coil, the iron ...
Sturgeon was born Edward Hamilton Waldo in Staten Island, New York, in 1918. His name was legally changed to Theodore Sturgeon at age eleven after his mother's divorce and subsequent marriage to William Dicky ("Argyll") Sturgeon. [3] Theodore's birth father, Edward Waldo, was a color and dye manufacturer of middling success.
English physicist William Sturgeon developed the first electromagnet. 1827: German physicist Georg Ohm introduced the concept of electrical resistance. 1831: English physicist Michael Faraday published the law of induction (Joseph Henry developed the same law independently). 1831
